Congrats !

I found 462 to be the hardest of them all. I barely squeaked that one by. Measure Up was really, really good practice exams. Great explanations

Jeff,

As usually most excellent. I have no idea why doing a ITVF slipped by my feeble mind. Very, very elegant solution, works perfectly and is much cleaner and now I...

Thanks Eric, the reason I am using a table variable is so I can join the results. Ultimately I'm trying to end up with a adhoc table that I can...

WOW, That's why I love coming here so many great solutions for the same issue. I'm testing each one out but I think I may be replacing my loop with...

I'm closer I just need to figure out how to add the 1

DECLARE @Interval INT = 5

,@Span INT = 30

In Addition to all that great advice. Itzik Ben Gan's T-SQL fundamentals. It is a fantastic book. It helped me understand SQL beyond the syntax. When I...

INSERT #Temp Values ('10/2/2015',1), ('10/1/2015',2), ('11/24/2015',3),

('11/20/2015',4), ('11/18/2015',5), ('12/9/2015',6);

WITH Cnt AS(
